| | Date: | Thursday, November 1, 2007 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | El Diente | | Location: | USA-Colorado | | Elevation: | 14159 ft / 4315 m |
Ascent Trip ReportEarly AM start, encoutered snow at about 12000 ft but very walkable. Snow on N. Face required crampons/ice axe. Traverse on N. face was sketchy since we were the first ones there since the first big snow of the season (scree under 2 ft. of powder)
Patrick and Pete were sketched out by the final 15 ft. of climbing to reach the summit so I soloed it. Sweet summit!
